9016 In Stock

The Newport 9016 is a Laser Diode Modular Controller, designed for laser diode testing, characterization, and control. Users have access to a range of options for conducting tests, ensuring precise and reliable results. This controller boasts an advanced circuit design and layout, which deliver a remarkably stable output current with minimal noise interference. Users can control the current output within a wide range, varying from 25 milliamps to 10 Amps, catering to various testing requirements. Moreover, the 9016 allows access to laser diode parameters with a resolution of 16-bit, including the forward voltage of the laser diode, enabling comprehensive characterization when used with a compatible module.

The 9016 is equipped with a series of time-tested safety features to safeguard the laser diode during operation. Initial protection against transients can be achieved with input power module filters, while power regulation stages, combined with additional filtering and high-speed transient detection circuits, ensure a secure operating environment, free from transient threats. The 9016's slow turn-on sequence, independent current limiting feature, and multiple output shorting circuits further protect the laser diode from potential damage. This controller is adaptable to various setups and can be easily integrated into a rack system cabinet if required. It comes with rack mounting tabs integrated into the front panel, ensuring a sturdy and seamless instrument chassis mount.

The 9016 is designed with a LCD graphics display that provides improved system control and data presentation. The display includes a MASTER view, that shows the system configuration and module status, along with soft keys that guide users through module setup and operation. Real-time control of the output can be achieved by entering a set point through the keypad or control knob. Additionally, the MENU and FUNC keys on the controller allow users to save system configurations and repetitive procedures for greater efficiency. To facilitate communication and integration with other systems, the 9016 is equipped with a GPIB/IEEE-488.2 interface, enabling access to all control and measurement functions. Standard input and output RS-232C ports provide connection options for the combination of multiple controllers into a unified, large test system.
